In addition to the usual valuable
reading matter, two series of articles
have just appeared in the American
Field, published weekly at Chicago, at
IS per annum, descriptive of Alaska,
and hunting expedition in southern
Africa. These two articles alone are

Friday night last week the crib and
stable, one building, of Adam Dupre in
Plaisance, was burned, by an incen-
diary. All the farming implements,
corn, and horses-seven head-were de-
stroyed, leaving Mr.. Dupre destitute Of
the means of making a crop.
St. Landry democrat., 1887-02-05

Probably the largest crop, in the his
tory of the parish, of corn, cotton and
rice, was made last year; and yet some
OF the newspaper farmers want to teach
the practical ones chow to do it,
What the farmers want Is better prices
for what they make-too much is now
made at present prices.

There was some little hesitation and good

come forward and I'll show him the nature

INTERESTING mEmo1Rs.
Life of the MAN who Preferred Books
to Bread.


Madame Quinet is about to give to the
light of publicity in a few days time the
history of the early struggles and studies of
her illustrious husband. The volume is not
only instructive, but amusing, says Paris
correspondent, and it is full of anecdotes
about the great men with whom the philoso-
pher and essayist came in contact in the
commencement of his career. Quinet was
model student whom many of the noisy and
bibulous youths of the Latin quarter, as it
is at present constituted, would do well to
initiate. He led the life of a Benedictine
while engaged in study, and like Erasmus,
often bought books instead of bread. He
had begun life in bank, but flung figures to
the winds and embarked in bellies letters.
His practical mother told him to eat rather
than to spend his money on books, (which
we're no good after they had been read. i"
Quinet did not see the force of the remark,
but continued to live on pennyworths of
bread and cheese while treating his intellect
to luxurious repasts of history, philosophy
and fiction. He was impervious to the shafts
of love, although he was very near making
fool of himself with splendid Partisan
lady, who had magnificent blue eyes with
die-away look in them, and who had fairly
set herself to the task of conquering him.
Quinet, however, ran away from the "insipid
and frivolous drawing rooms" where the
lady and others of her sex languished and
tattled, and he buried himself in the middle
ages. After having paEtaken OF the dregs or
the cup of poverty Quinet succeeded in sell
ing his translation of fFHerder'' and his ''In
PRODUCTION to the Philosophy of History" for
about one hundred pounds. These works
brought him into contact with Victor Cous-
in, who had returned Goethe-mad from Der.
lin, and also with Michelet. Quinet and
Michelet became fast friends, and they found
out that Cousin, who charmed them by his
eloquence was a bit of a humbug. BE &C
tually wanted them to renounce their orig
inal compositions and make translations
and compilations for his future use. Qui-
net was to bury himself in the "Commen-
taries of Olympiodorus," and Michelet was
to seek recreation in the works of ST. Ber-
nard, all for the future great glory of
Cousin. The two friends, however, were
not quite SO unsophisticared. They did not
go near Cousin for long time, and when
they did he took care not to renew his
proposals. During the struggle for Grecian
independence Cousin was continually
preaching to Quinet the glory of fighting
for Hellas. His enthusiasm was redoubled
when the news of Santa Rosa's death ar
rived in Paris. He told Quinet to pack up
his boxes and to get ready for journey to
Athens. They were to avenge Santa Rosa.
Quinet was overjoyed and he went home to
get ready. When he returned to Cousin
the philosopher had changed his mind.
These are but a few samples of the good
things in the book, which will prove CAPT
tai reading.

CAMPUS NOTES.

The outlook Fer The Harvard Game
Athletic Association DOfngs-BrIef
Mention.
Woodruff is about without the help of a
cane.
1t is reported that Graves, the half-back
who made the first touchdown for Yale in the
Princeton game, will not play against Har-
ward next Thursday.
Walter Camp 80 will be referee and G..
Hodge of Princeton umpire in the Wesleyan
Pennsylvania game Thursday.
Some Harvard men will take a coach from
Boston to New York for the Yale-Harvard
football game.
Bardwell 80 and Lloyd '91 will be the
hares in the run from the Field this after
noon. At the same time there will be an
eight mile bicycle race, the last two miles to
be race to the finish, the winner to receive
prize.
There seems general feeling of confidence
/ over the result of the coming Harvard game
that is not warranted by the record of the
team up to date. The Harvard rush line is
slightly heavier than Yales, and her backs
are all strong players. 1t will undoubtedly
be a fine contest, and Yale has got to work
hard to win.

of clear water into large tumbler. ttJust
you blow into that water, my friend" he
cried. The man obeyed, and the water
grew discolored, turbid, and at last as
white as if it had been mixed with milk.
The patient himself became as pale as ashes.
"This unhappy man, my friends" said the
quack, as he held the glass on high, eff
he hadn't had the good fortune to come
across me tonight, wouldn't have been long
for this world. I should have given him a
fortnight that's all. Now packet of my
lung -healers will cure him. What you see
in the glass of water are his vitiated hu-
mours, the products of corruption. My
magic lung healers destroy these humours
in the body or out of the body. Observe,
my friends, watch me carefully, there is no
deception here" The quack dropped a
pinch from one of packet of powders in
to glass, and directed the patient to stir it
with the tube. The water became immedi-
ately clear. Then he reaped harvest. The
water was ime-water, and the carbonic acid
in the mans breath naturally threw down the
carbonate of lime at once, and rendered the
water turbid. And the miraculous lung healer
was simply little citric acid and sugar which
instantly rsdissolved it.
